Still wondering if a dog crate is the right choice to make

The sentence heard most often when crate or cage training is first suggested to new or existing owners is, ‘Isn’t it cruel?’

Absolutely not is the answer. A crate will become a space a dog can consider its own, a comfortable place to relax if tired and a safe one to retreat to if anxious. By nature dogs seek out small places and spaces to curl up in.
